Now this week's question:

Tell Me Something: Out of everything you have read who is your favorite villain you loved to hate?

Hmm scratching head, this required some thought. It is easy to fall head over heels in love with the heroes. I know it is a good villain when they strike fear into me.

I thought of a few. First, The Dark Lord, Sauron from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. I recall, reading this series in my youth and Sauron scared the pants off me. He was so vile and dark, he had a entire army of trolls,orcs and dark creatures. Not to mention an entirely dead, black kingdom. Creepy! And don't forget that all seeing eye!

Another guy that scared the bejesus out of me when I read about him in my late teens was Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. If you have never read Dracula, do it. It is so scary but good. If that makes sense. Don't read it alone at night, unless you enjoy nightmares. Gary Oldman in the movie did an amazing job of bringing the chill factor to the screen.

More recently, Lord Voldemort from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, is another vile creation. The way he bullies and murders with just a curse. I wouldn't want to face him anytime soon. Ralph Fiennes does a terrific job depicting him in the movies.

Finally, in recent books I have read, a couple come to mind, the glass eyed sleaze bag, Keith from Richelle Mead's Bloodlines. The best way to describe him is unctuous. I wanted Sidney to kick him in the crotch.

The villains from Veronica Roth's Divergent, are malicious and spiteful. I truly detested them. You know it is a good character when you encounter them your pulse races and you want nothing more than to punch them in the face! Peter, Eric, Molly, Drew and Jeanine elicit that response.

I know I couldn't narrow it down to just one. Who scares the bejesus out of you? Who do you want to punch in the face? I would love to here your thoughts on the baddies!
